Is it OK for my toddler to sleep with a nightlight?
Being afraid of the dark is a normal experience for young children. Using a nightlight can be a simple fix – nightlights are not bad for sleep. If your child wants the main light on, that can be a problem and disrupt sleep. However, if you have a small night light in the corner of the room that can be dimmed and is not directly in his eyes, using a night light can be an easy fix to this normal experience for young children.
